 How To Crochet Granny Square Cardigan

Materials Needed

• Crochet hook
• Yarn of your choice
• Tapestry needle

Pattern Instructions

1. Prepare Your Yarn and Hook:
   • Begin with a twist on your hook using your chosen yarn color.
2. Join the Yarn at the Corner:
   • Slip stitch the yarn into the very first corner space of your cardigan.
   • Chain 3.
3. Create the Initial Row:
   • Work 2 double crochets in the same corner space.
   • Continue working into the remaining loops of the V8 stitches from the beginning until you reach the end of the row.
   • For each V8 stitch, work 3 double crochets.
4. Across the Shoulder:
   • Add 3 double crochets over the shoulder space.
   • Leave the first space unworked if you are making a larger size; adjust based on your size pattern.
5. Begin Working in Rows:
   • Chain 3 and turn your work.
   • Work 3 double crochets between each of the stitch fans from the previous row.
6. Total Rows for Hood:
   • If making a hood for the Antonio Juan doll, crochet 10 rows.
   • For teddy or larger doll sizes (e.g., suck ellipse doll), crochet 16 rows.
7. End of the Row Details:
   • At the row's end, work one double crochet between the last two posts.
   • Chain 3 to begin the next row.
8. Completing the Hood:
   • After completing the necessary rows, the hood will be flat. Fold it so the join is inside.
   • Insert the hook through the very end stitches and slip stitch to join.
9. Final Touch to the Hood:
   • Chain 3 and slip stitch between the fans for all sizes.
   • Cut the yarn, leaving a good length of tail, and pull through.
10. Shape the Point:

• Use a tapestry needle with the yarn tail to shape the hood's point.
• Tuck and secure the folded point using a whip stitch, hiding any excess yarn.

11. Finishing:
    • Weave in any remaining yarn ends neatly.
12. Edging (Optional):
    • The video hints at future instructions for different edgings with or without the hood.

Notes

• Ensure you adjust the pattern according to the size you are making.
• Pay attention to the placement and tension to achieve the desired look.
